About this care
Emergency Dentistry
Dental pain and injuries can be difficult to judge without an examination. Calling early allows the Green Dental team to ask a few questions, provide appropriate direction, and determine how soon you should be seen.
Severe swelling that affects breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding, major facial trauma, or another life-threatening situation requires emergency medical attention. Call 911 rather than waiting for a dental appointment.
What to consider
Reasons to call promptly

Helpful answers before you call.
Can Green Dental see dental emergencies?

What should I do after hours?
